Here is how I did it in Windows 7 64Bit with HTC sync 2.0.4.
0. Do NOT connect with USB cable your HTC hero or HTC Android phone just yet.
1. First download the HTC Sync 2.0.4 and the Vista 64 bit drivers as described above to your desktop.
2. Install the HTC Sync 2.0.4 and follow the instructions on the screen until it says HTC Sync installed successfully.
3. On your phone click menu button -> click Settings -> click Applications -> click Development -> select ‘USB debugging’. And exit out to home screen.
4. Connect your phone with USB cable to your PC.
5. Cut and Paste the ‘HTC Driver’ folder from your desktop to c Drive in C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\ folder.
6. On Windows 7 click Start, open Control Panel, open Devices and Printer, click on Device Manager link. This will open a new window titled Device Manager.
7. Locate ‘ADB’ device, right click properties to update the driver and point it to the folder location as described in step 5. Then Restart your PC, unhook the phone and reconnect the phone after the Windows 7 has restarted. THATS IT.
